St. Louis Rams head coach Mike Martz said S Willie Gary (sprained ankle) is coming along fine but his status is still a little suspect for this weekend's game. DL Jeff Zgonina (triceps) still has a very swollen triceps but will be able to play. They've fitted his elbow for a brace, which he may have to wear. OT Ryan Tucker (ankle) is back at full-speed and will start this weekend. LB Dustin Cohen (knee) may be available as a special teams player this weekend.

St. Louis Rams head coach Mike Martz said FS Rich Coady (ankle) and LB Dustin Cohen (knee) will be looked at again on Wednesday to see where they stand.
